Talk:Sian Massey-Ellis

Sky sexism
The trivia (see Notability) surrounding Richard Keys and Andy Gray's sexist comments do not belong in this article, and especially do not belong under the subheading Career. The pundits' comments have nothing to do with Massey's career. In addition, so what if she correctly called a borderline offside during the Wolves-Liverpool match? Its her job to do so, and someone fulfilling their job requirements does not warrant being noted in an encyclopedia. Tbmurray 20:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I could not disagree more. Malleus Fatuorum 22:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Why? Tbmurray 22:19, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * While I sympathise with Tbmurray's view, I'm inclined to agree with Malleus on this one. Rightly or wrongly, the Gray-Keys controversy is the main reason most people will have heard of Massey recently, and may well be the reason they've looked at this article. (Certainly, it was the reason I found myself reading it earlier today.) I agree that it doesn't seem fair to focus on this incident too heavily in Massey's biography, as in the course of her career it's not that significant; a sentence or two would be sufficient. But I think it does deserve some mention here, and it doesn't raise any BLP issues, as it doesn't reflect badly on her at all. Robofish (talk) 22:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Fair play, I have added a brief outline of the story which should be sufficient, and which does not detract from the rest of the article. I don't think the actual transcript of what they said is necessary. Tbmurray 22:45, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Neither do I think that a transcript is necessary, and that's not what I added and what you subsequently reverted. In any event, the present couple of sentences seems fine to me, so job done. It would have been more congenial had it been done with less angst, but looking through the edit history I can understand why you may have over-reacted; we're all human. Allegedly.

 * Think what has been left in hardly covers the story and her involvement in something that has now resulted in Gray's sacking.--Egghead06 (talk) 16:37, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, it covers it very well. If you want to write an article on sexism within Sky TV then please feel free to do so. Malleus Fatuorum 17:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Seeing as it now mentions the sacking, Andy Burton and Sky Sports there seems little need for such an article.--Egghead06 (talk) 17:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * This article is about Sian Massey. Not Andy Gray, Andy Burton or anybody else. I fully support a detailed narrative of everything Andy Gray said, both to Charlotte Jackson in December 2010 and about Massey on 22 January 2011, and his subsequent disciplinary and sacking, but not here. This story should be limited to a brief overview only in this article, and should not detract from the other highlights of Massey's career. Tbmurray 19:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
